100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports with a cable length of 1m. Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks.

Applications
Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is stocked in 6 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to Dual 2x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to QSFP28 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
The ordering code varies with length, such as QSFP-100G-2QAC01 for the shortest option. Standard supply covers 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Custom length production is available for project requirements. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
